DSM5 said:Is it all about how old the forwards are? Just how old was Kennedy when he came to us? Beaver was playing brilliantly when he left us and how old was he? Cliffy was 37 and still winning games for us. It's not about how old one is, it's about the skill and desire. Look at the Broncos last night. They are all young athletic and fit. Yet the older seasoned forwards of the Cows beat them last night. The need to bolster the forwards with younger up and comers is good, but there's no need to toss the 'older' brigade away just yet.
One of the Great Britain teams during the 80s was refered to as Dads Army (the team with Brian Noble) and as history shows it didn't turn out well for them.
You need a good mix of youth and experience. Unfortunately we starting to get to the older stage.
